leaving the temple

[Makoto side]

"Makoto-kun, Keran be careful, okay?"

The only one seeing me and Keran off was the old lady that was our elementary class teacher.

"Makato and Keran With your magic and Stats, you can only defeat one small monster."

She tells me with a worried expression. but I wonder why keran is not bother about it hey be little

The result of my 1 year of training is that my class is still Mage Apprentice. and keran does he thinking oh well.

Not only did I not get my goal that was magic swordsman, I didn't even get to become a decent mage.

"It is okay. If anything happens, I will run away with my thief skills." (Makoto)

"That's right, you must not fight that go for you to Keran"

"ya"

They told me fervently that I should join a party somewhere, but I refused.

Conversation with strangers is tiring, and they will definitely make fun of me.

That's why, I am okay going on adventure.

"I could actually get you a job here in this temple though."

I was also told this many times.

"If I do that, my 9 years of lifespan will come in the blink of an eye. I have to get Contributions for the Gods." (Makoto)

"I agree with Makoto"

"It is a rough world."

"Well then, I will be going." (Makoto)

She is a nice teacher.

I was a bad student, but she watched over me and Karen till the very end without abandoning me.

A while after leaving, I look back at the temple for a bit. The teacher is still watching.

I and Karen waved widely at her and, after that, I didn't turn back again while Karen waved widely till now.

I will do my best.
